In constructing a confidence interval for σ or σ2, a table is used to find the critical values and for values of n ≤ 101. For larger values of n, and can be approximated by using the following formula: χ2 =  where k is the number of degrees of freedom and zα/2 is the critical z-score. Construct the 90% confidence interval for σ using the following sample data: a sample of size n = 232 yields a mean weight of 154 lb and a standard deviation of 25.5 lb. Round the confidence interval limits to the nearest hundredth. Group of answer choices
